I have been practicing orthodontics for over 30 years and it is still a thrill for me to see a shy young patient blossom into a confident person as his or her smile transforms throughout treatment. Being an orthodontist is the best job in the world other than a rock star and I am grateful every day for the patients who trust me to treat them. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I graduated with honors from Manhattan College with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and then attended Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where I graduated first in my class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Several prestigious awards were bestowed upon me during my academic career, including the Alpha-Omega Fraternity Award for Academic Achievement throughout my four-year course of study at Columbia, the Psi-Omega Fraternity Award for highest academic achievement, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Operative Dentistry, the CUSDOS Alumni Award for Excellence in Stomatology, the American Academy of Dental Radiology Certificate of Recognition and the Enrico Fermi Award for Clinical Excellence.
After graduation, I entered a general practice residency at the world-renowned Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan and received advanced dental training in all phases of dentistry. After completing my residency, my dental skills were further honed by practicing general dentistry as an associate in two private dental practices in Westchester and Orange counties. My passion for orthodontics drove me to further my schooling. I obtained my post-doctoral orthodontic certificate from Eastman Dental Center.
With a constant emphasis on continuing education to keep me on the leading edge of my profession, I am honored to be Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. I am certified in Invisalign clear aligners and Incognito hidden braces.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Mary, who is a nurse with a BSN degree. We have four boys, one of whom is currently an orthodontist in our practice. When Im not in the office I enjoy weight training, bicycling, and fishing. I have coached youth soccer and football.
I am married to my wonderful wife, Kellie, with whom I have two sons and a daughter. When Im not working I enjoy scuba diving, underwater and regular photography, kayaking, wakeboarding, water skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, and sailing. I also love going camping with the family and am an avid sports fan, especially rooting for the local New York teams.
Knowing that I can change peoples lives by creating beautiful smiles and functional bites, is one of the most rewarding gifts any doctor can receive. Im proud to provide award winning smiles for the residents of Middletown, Monroe, Newburgh, Orange County, and Monticello, NY.
I love to hear about my adolescent patients lives and interests and especially enjoy discussing sports with them. They are funny and often come out with some really great stuff. My adult patients are wonderful for sharing family stories, especially since I have three young children of my own.
From a treatment perspective, I love the fact that no two malocclusions are exactly alike, which presents me with a new puzzle to solve each time a new patient walks into the office. Every case must be dissected to determine why the malocclusion is present, and then it is up to me to decide which methods are appropriate for treating the patients concerns as well as providing the best possible outcome.
